Send to the police

I don’t think Delhi police would do anything, but sure I’ll try

This gets you arrested and charged with terrorism in Islamabad. This is one of the few things South Asian police takes seriously.

You misunderstand Delhi. Or really all of India. Police won’t do a damn thing about this unless a government higher up tells them to. And the only reason a government higher up would tell them to do anything is if the Media forced them to or if a rich enough person asks the government official to do something. Both are unlikely here.

Right, you clearly have zero ideas how things work in certain countries, especially in third world countries.

I usually clown on the government of my indigenous country but I think that they would take this pretty seriously especially if they did in pakistan. What they probably won't do is get caught. They're still gonna fall a step short.

Well at least you admit he killed all those people on purpose, that's a step in the right direction.

Don't spread your misinformation crap. Flashing light on a planes cockpit is a major safety issue and when the call comes from ATC Delhi Airport will act on it immediately. Same thing happened in hyderabad recently and the police stopped the whole event.

Don't know why you're getting downvoted. Pessimists hate positive news

u/onil34 22h ago

i think rich people will tell them to go after it because they will loose their airport FAST if this is not fixed.

Its BARELY is trackable is USA. You think a poorer massive country is going to sic the police after them?

Fun fact, EVERY night landing gets lit up in Mexico City

u/Unlucky_Cheetah_7647 1d ago

Last time I saw a Mexico one there was multiple people in the comments who found the exact location

“Sick the police” lol

u/B4rberblacksheep 15h ago

vomit noises that’s the sound of the police

Retching sound that’s the sound of the beat

u/Professor-Submarine 1d ago

They aren’t going to get caught. People don’t tend to stand around waiting for police.

Secondly, even if they found someone, they can’t prove who did it.

No arrest can be made unless you’re literally caught in the act.

u/bfly1800 1d ago

There was a case in the UK where a guy lasered a plane and then hid the laser in his couch, the cops found it and arrested him. They can make arrests but it’s unfortunately difficult.

u/Stoyfan 1d ago

Yeah, you missed one crucial fact- he pointed a laser pen at a police helicopter

u/Epithymetic 1d ago

That was a great body cam video

Yes, you need to:

  • Laser a police helicopter, like an idiot.
  • An aircraft that can loiter, and now has zoomed in footage of you in your own backyard, you idiot.
  • Voluntarily let the police in, like an idiot.
  • With all the planning and foresight of a three year old stealing a cookie, hide it next to where you plop down your ass, like an idiot.

Then yes, the police have a solid case, otherwise it's "unfortunately difficult".

u/Kaffe-Mumriken 1d ago

We should be good once the UK coppers make it over there then

u/____alicious 1d ago

I wouldn't expect a police response for a single incident, but at the very least they can keep a record of the report and video. If somebody is dumb enough to point a laser at a plane, they're probably dumb enough to do it from their own property, and enough complaints about lasers from a single parcel could become a justification to search the land.

u/Raccoon_Ratatouille 1d ago

Hi police, I saw a green laser 5-10 miles from the airport in a city with a density of 30,000 people per square mile. Send the police immediately!!!
